Today, Foley’s creativity spans much beyond industrial design as he carries his strength of innovation to re-define everyday and luxury products.

Furthermore, the colors and textures that inspire these designs are drawn from a wealth of resources, including archival documentation and his own passion for watercolor as a medium of expression.
